The prolific goal-scorer has been absent from the English champions’ lineup since facing Aston Villa in the Premier League on December 6. However, in a positive development on Monday, the Norwegian striker returned to training in Abu Dhabi, where the team is currently holding their warm weather training camp. He is now aiming for a comeback.
Sharing a snapshot from Monday’s training session on Instagram, the Cityzens’ star expressed, “Oh, how I’ve missed this!”
Sidelined for the past nine matches, encompassing five Premier League fixtures, the 23-year-old has been dealing with a bone stress injury in his foot. While he briefly participated in training earlier this month before the FA Cup fixture against Huddersfield, manager Pep Guardiola emphasized the importance of not rushing the return of their star player to action.
As Guardiola’s team readies for the crucial FA Cup fourth-round clash against Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur on Friday, the striker’s potential return adds a hopeful dimension to their preparations.
